Craig Allen’s Wall of Inspiration

If you have been following my postings here at nj1015.com, on "Craig's List" for the last few months, you already know that I am into inspirational sayings.

Just a few meaningful words can turn a rough day around...or take a good day to the next level, emotionally.

The right words, at the right time, can spur anyone on...to do what they need to do next in their life...the right saying can inspire greatness!

A few years back, I saw this saying on a wall plaque that was part of the "set design" of a 1950's movie. It struck a chord with me, so I grabbed a piece of paper, and quickly wrote it down before I could forget the exact wording:

The inspirational quote sat on my desk, and eventually got shuffled from paper pile to paper pile...and then was "lost." I have long searched for it....going through boxes and boxes, and stacks of papers and odds and ends...before finding it in the bottom of a desk drawer (put great sigh of relief HERE). Finally!

This time, I quickly taped the saying to my wall, before I could lose it again...thus starting what would soon become my "wall" of inspirational sayings.

This "wall" is ever-growing. I find inspiration in books, online, and in everyday conversation.

Here are just a few of my favorites, at the moment...maybe one (or more) of them will "speak" to you!

"Good things happen when the time is right."

"Believe in yourself, and you will be unstoppable."

"If you do not see yourself as a winner, then you can not perform as a winner."

"Go with your conviction. There is no point in regret at all."

"What counts most about success is how a person achieves it."

"Change your thoughts, and you change your destiny."

"Turn your can'ts into cans...and your dreams into plans."

"Where you're headed is much more important than what you've left behind."

"Leave people better than you found them."

This is how I endeavor to live my life every day:

Its my favorite saying...try it on for size, as we begin 2016...

Feel free (please!) to share a favorite saying of yours...you never know who it may help in time of need...or inspire to "greatness!"
